I'm not sure, but it should be ok, worst case the car might throw codes expecting the paddles to be there. But given that it's possible to get an AT car without paddles, that should be solvable via coding. The coder would just need to remove the option code for the paddles so your car thinks it never had it in the first place.

I need an answer for this, I have a seller waiting on me. I have an auto with no paddles.. He has a manual steering wheel (with no paddles ofcourse).. I can't find answers anywhere, any immediate feedback would be great!!
